About

This sake is brewed with clear, pure underground water (fukuryusui) from the Mount Asama area and carefully selected, highly polished rice. Careful brewing draws out the flavor of Miyama Nishiki rice, resulting in a sake that is rich and full-bodied yet dry, with deep character. It was introduced on the Nihonshu Enjoy Channel.
